Not that I'd expect people like you to check facts, but there are no hereditary peers, and we are currently trying to figure out what we should do with the House of Lords. (in particular, how to appoint Lords).
The split suggested seems to be of Windows/IE/everything else. I think that leaves too much in the everything else company - servers, development tools, and client side stuff. (What about thinks like MSN,Hotmail,MSNBC,WebTV).
If they want a 3-way split, it would be better to split it into OS, Servers&Devel tools, office&everything else companies. That way the companies would be more balanced, although ideally they'd cleanly split it into about a dozen smaller companies.
And the reason why the GPL does that according to RMS is that he also believes that isn't "perfeclt legal for me to create a proprietary program that relies on some copyrighted shared library".
Whether he's right or not doesn't matter - the GPL does not impose additional restrictions beyond those imposed by copyright law. Maybe some of it cannot be enforced, due to certain restrictions not being imposed by copyright law, but that's an issue that has no precedent, so RMS's stand is perfectly reasonable.
Its quite easy. They know exactly where the satellite was, and they know exactly what direction is pointing. Therefore, they know the exact grid co-ordinates of stuff it took pictures off.
Sorry, Chess can be solved. Sure, it's a lot harder to solve than tic-tac-toe, but fundamentally, it's the same maths involved... Probably with current technology, it could be solved in a few decades if there was the money to do it (i'm talking hundreds of billions of dollars here). As computer tech gets fast and faster, it will become more affordable to solve chess. I'd be very suprised if it couldn't be done in less than year for a few million dollars in 2100).
It's a lot of work (and actually doesn't make much sense) to make a full font. A full font would require experts in lots of scripts who haven't come forward yet. (this includes, but is not limited to the following scripts : Armenian, Bengali, Devanagari, Georgian, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayam, Mongolian, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Telugu, Thaana, Tibetan and Yi).
Another major problem is lack of free tools. This should be rectified soon though.

How much further do Gates and Ballmer need to go before they are jailed for contempt of court?
Given that I want you to give me all your money, isn't that you should be doing?
Where does it get it's revenue from, then?

However, no-one would ever say "french chip". We either say "french fry" (rarely), or "chip". Chips are British.
It's harder than you think. It's being worked on.
Um, K&R were involved in the development of sh, bash's precursor.
Now I understand why Americans seem so litigious.
That should read 'my'.
You are just making a fool of yourself by misrepresenting by point.
License is the verb
Whilst USA usage may be different, it's inappropriate to correct the spelling used in the rest of the world to the USA form in an international forum.
I could have sworn mozilla doesn't actually use motif. (netscape 4, does sure, but 6 won't.)
It just sucks slightly that so much open source software is under different, incompatible licences - it stops people doing neat stuff.
What the ISO 3166 maintenance agency say about .eu
Well, it was certainly malicious, but it could have been a great deal worse.
Only one of those is an actual X problem. The others are application problems, and window mangers problems. They can be solved without changing X.
The trade secret cannot be copyrighted, but the document that expresses it can be.

It certainly is democracy, as long as you have a "none of the above" option.
